DNA Isolation on “DNA Day”

In this hands-on activity at the DNA Visitor Lab, participants learn about DNA analysis techniques. During the course, oral mucosal cells are crushed, the DNA is extracted, precipitated with alcohol, and transferred to a container. This not only allows participants to experience the day-to-day work of researchers in the lab, but also provides interesting insights into cell biology, genetics, and genetic engineering.

The Workshop offered several times that day:

• 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
• 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
• 3:00 – 4:00 p.m.
